What is the Least Common Multiple of 6001 and 6010?

Least common multiple or lowest common denominator (lcd) can be calculated in two way; with the LCM formula calculation of greatest common factor (GCF), or multiplying the prime factors with the highest exponent factor.

Least Common Multiple of 6001 and 6010 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 6001 and 6010, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(6001,6010) = 1
LCM(6001,6010) = ( 6001 × 6010) / 1
LCM(6001,6010) = 36066010 / 1
LCM(6001,6010) = 36066010

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 6001 and 6010 with Primes

Least common multiple can be found by multiplying the highest exponent prime factors of 6001 and 6010. First we will calculate the prime factors of 6001 and 6010.

Prime Factorization of 6001

Prime Factorization of 6010

Now multiplying the highest exponent prime factors to calculate the LCM of 6001 and 6010.

LCM(6001,6010) = 17¹ × 353¹ × 2¹ × 5¹ × 601¹
LCM(6001,6010) = 36066010
